A Short Video on Qualitative Coding Using Dedoose

This is a short video that is meant as a beginners intro for my students on how to go about coding textual data.
Whether your method is content analysis, in-depth interviewing, participant observation, focus groups, or more formal ethnography, you will need to code your data.
I use a few excerpts from my dissertation data, to present a beginners introduction to coding, using a textual analysis software called dedoose.
I am a assistant professor on the tenure track in New York City. I have a Ph.D in Political Science, and I study the intersection of race, gender, and class.
Dedoose did not pay me for this video, its a software that has been very useful for my work since I was a grad student. At $11/month for students, its also one of the more affordable options for students doing qualitative analysis.

Hi Dr. Moffett- Bateau, I'm Lauren, you just gained a new student haha, thank you for this, I appreciate you

[@valerielynch4014]

This video was very helpful as a first time Dedoose user working on a qualitative dissertation project. Thank you Dr. Moffett-Bateau!

[@christine9220]

Thank you! I know you mentioned that you weren't going to teach us how to use Dedoose in the video, but you did! 😀 I appreciate the time and suggestions you provided for qualitative coding.

Very helpful. I'm in the midst of coding for my dissertation (using Dedoose) and I picked up several tips from your video. Thank you.

[@valerielynch4014]

Same here! Best wishes to you on your project, wish me luck!

[@tabithafeltner717]

Thank you so much, after viewing countless videos on dedoose I have finally found one that is clear and in depth. Thank you thank you.

[@AlexMBateau]

Thanks so much for the video
Using dedoose now for my PhD research

This was so helpful. I watched a bunch of videos and still didn’t know how to make this work for my project. Your intro made everything come together. Thank you.

[@AlexMBateau]

I am so glad that the video was helpful to you. Good luck!

[@mmf0317]

Wow, this was so incredibly helpful and transparent. Thanks so much for this walk-through!

[@AlexMBateau]

Thank you, I’m so glad it was helpful

[@DreamscapeAtlas]

Thank you, you saved me because my teacher refused to help explain to me how to code in dedoose

[@jillgreenwood2377]

Thank you for this - it was so helpful! I'm just starting my coding with Dedoose, and this was by far, the best intro :)

[@candicesmith5064]

I'm just starting too! One of my colleagues referred to me Dedoose tonight.

[@AlexMBateau]

I am glad it helped! Good luck on your coding journey!

[@AlexMBateau]

Dedoose is an awesome piece of software. I hope you have a great time learning it as you explore your data!

[@danielayalaquispe8755]

Thnaks for sharing, professor!

Hi this was very helpful. However, I am doing a qualitative content analysis of RUclips videos for my dissertation. I believe I need to analyze 3- 4 videos ( I hope that's not too many, I'll take your recommendations). I know that RUclips does transcripts and I was wondering if I use videos of individuals talking to others in a podcast interview type video or a group of individuals talking with each other (or a single person reacting to content) is there a method for doing that?

[@jazandriz]

so helpful thank you!

[@danielkellogg7780]

This was helpful! Thank you!

[@AlexMBateau]

I’m so glad it helped!

[@mojdeh5976]

Hello, thank you for your good video. Is this ?
software able to analyze Persian data as well?

[@AlexMBateau]

I don’t see why not!
